  • easy to use
  • no longer need to email confidential docs instead they are shared in dropbox
  • love the fact that it indicates that whenever I save a file it auto lets me know that I am saving in DB so I don't get confused
  • DB really supports the new working environment where we can be working from anywhere in the world!!
  • perhaps ability to see who last modified a file

  • Capture activity reports of license users (all activity across Dropbox, shared data in and out of Dropbox).
  • Reports of data files shared with nonlicensed or out of the firm individuals.
  • Data encryption, security protocols for the business, BRAVO! Job Well Done!
  • Permits secure partnership across its platforms with additional software gurus such as Adobe, Microsoft. As a Beta Tester and ProDeveloper for MS, Adobe, and Host-Server on GoDaddy this ability is phenomenal which makes my job as a developer using various platforms wordpress, webbuilder, WIX, etc much more user-friendly when pulling down files.
  • Removing and adding new licenses.
  • Scanning lost or recovering data, cleaning data.
  • Oh my, Dropbox Business is and must be the most user-friendly cloud based option for uploading, downloading and moving multiple small, medium, and even large files internally and even externally!
  • No matter what file format... Dropbox Business will communicate to you what you need! Communication is key with any software! Love at first site! Dropbox Business, you had me at "Happy Dropboxing!"
  • For Businesses who create their own contracts with their legal firms, provide more user-friendly instructions how to use Dropbox "Link" system to be able to embed these onto the end users website if there is desired destination such as ours, whereas the aforementioned we would be able to then form a submit button and provide a payment button. If they do not pay then it will not submit. Providing these types of instructions with the add-ons of new service plans would only increase revenue for Dropbox and potentially a new revenue stream. Maybe even offer tutorials for redevelopers who desire to learn this aspect of DropBox. Why not? Again it added revenue, what company is not always seeking ways to build into its business plan new revenue streams.
  • New ways to suspend users without being charged for things like if the employee has been suspended without pay etc... things like this are a positive for the small business sector.
  • Offer annual contracts, however they can pay monthly with small interest connect with Adobe Admin to see how they do it. I believe they offer that type of program. Penalty applies if they cancel before the year is up.
  • Offer referral programs to long term clients... Bring Dropbox Business a new client who signs a year contract even if they pay monthly receive 25% of your annual contract even if you pay monthly.

  • quick uploading
  • sorting documents by size or file name or type
  • edit documents and save without downloading
  • it does not handle back slashes like d/b/a well and creates subfolders unintentionally
  • it could be better about editing pdfs in addition to word documents online
  • it does not open well on certain cell phones

  • Having the comfort of putting away documents from the workplace and afterward having the option to recover them from home is totally fantastic.
  • No more utilization of thumb drives for the business when we can send photos and verifications over to the cloud effectively to recover later.
  • There is an absence of search usefulness in this application which makes it troublesome now and again to discover the significant archives required on that second. In any case, the application is incredible.

  • It enables us to share documents and workflow to all employees for whom access is allowed regardless of where in the world they may be located.
  • Dropbox Business provides a means to safely store our documents without having to have physical copies.
  • Dropbox also allows for easy organization of our documents in folders and such in the system.

  • It has a very intuitive user interface so navigation becomes very easy.
  • I can quickly share files to people.
  • Its security is marvelous, that is very impressive.
  • It is a bit expensive. The price should be lower.

  • I like that I know where items will be when I download them. With other services, sometimes I don't know where the downloads go.
  • I like the option to be able to have everything online only in case I need to save room on my laptop.
  • I like the option to have real-time syncing between my desktop and the folders in Dropbox.
  • I deeply dislike the navigation. I find it very clunky and hard and not intuitive. A few years ago Dropbox redesigned its navigation and I'm frequently at a loss to figure out where to access the option I need.
  • It should be quicker and easier to figure out how to send a file. I wish I could do that from the drop-down menu in my taskbar under the Dropbox logo.
  • I wish I had the option under the same drop-down menu in my taskbar under the Dropbox logo to go to where the files are on my laptop, which I find much easier to navigate.

  • Collaborating tools makes it easy for working on projects with team members remotely.
  • 5 TB of storage offers quite a bit of space to utilize.
  • Having a team management feature offers user friendly and efficient working space.
  • Allowing more than one admin would be great.

  • Sharing files
  • Saving older versions of each file
  • Sharing files with external users by link
  • Sharing files with people outside your organization can be troublesome for external users, many report difficulties accessing the files
  • The Paper app is a great idea but very poor in features, making it useless
  • Changing the place you store your data locally could be difficult and lengthy

  • Ease of use - Dropbox provides a simple interface that most team members and clients are already familiar with.
  • The ability to have Dropbox folders accessible from Finder makes it seem like your cloud storage is local but you don’t take up space on your hard drive.
  • Dropbox makes it easy to share files with anyone.
  • Initial setup of the Dropbox app has been tricky for some of our less tech-savvy team members.
  • It’d be great to have the ability to create a custom link for assets/folders instead of just having the randomly generated url.

  • Document sharing with external parties.
  • Accessible over various devices so handy if you don't have your own machine, as long as you use Single Sign on and 2FA.
  • Co-editing of documents is a great feature.
  • Sometimes it can feel a lesser experience when accessing Dropbox Business through windows explorer compared to web access. Creating parity between the two so it looks the same would be an improvement but I would imagine it's designed more to access straight from a browser.
